POSSIBLE SPOILER!!
Just read the episode summary, the B story is Sergeant Hatred trapped in a theater with a bunch of little kids and his to control his urges.
For fuck's sake, ENOUGH OF THE PEDOPHILE CRAP! It stopped being funny after Hank asked Sgt Hatred if he was going to "bad touch" him at the Monarch's wedding.

I would agree if that was the whole joke. It's not. Jack and Doc aren't just going "What does Sgt. Hatred have in common with Wal Mart? Boys pants half off! lololol"
The humor is much more profound and comes from a sincere place in watching Hatred wrestle with his demons and try to put his sins behind him and form a bond with Hank.

I have to agree with Joe: the pedophilia joke was hilarious when it started in Caged Bird, but it gets less funny each time. At this point, Sgt Hatred is getting to be more annoying than Dean with all his constant whining. Neither of those characters is developing at the pace of the others and they're beginning to bog down the otherwise fantastic storyline.

Yeah I agree. I mean it's not like how someone already mentioned he is a man fighting an addiction, it's not like he isn't trying to move on from his wife who he watched gangbanged by his former henchman, and there is certainly no character value of him trying to establish a non-sexual relationship with Hank. I think we should also completely ignore the issue of all the Ventures constantly reminding him he's not Brock and how he deals with that. Yup, no interesting growth or depth from Ol' Hatred.
Hatred needs more love.

Yeah, but I guess that his beef was that Hatred wasn't developing as fast as the other, not that he had no development. It's a fast-paced show with a tremendous amount of stuff going on, maybe he felt that there was already enough going on and that Hatred was detracting from the other story lines too much. Whatever. I have no idea. But interesting that he brought up Dean...

Mike,
Honestly, I'm beyond the uncomfortable thing.
As I said, it was funny during "Showdown, Part I"
Then it did get to be a little uncomfortable.
Then it got to be annoying.
Then with Capt Sunshine, it was like "Here's even MORE of it, how ORIGINAL!"
Now it's just, as I said, ENOUGH ALREADY!

Hatred is great in the way that his whole situation has become ironic. He is a recovering pedophile who is now working as a bodyguard to CHILDREN. We say he hasn't grown but if anything he has been doing the MOST growing of many characters, it's just been OVER time.
The guys since season 2 has gone from pedophile to recovery, not to mention he needs to figure out where his allegiance lies: The Guild, OSI, Dr.Venture. Plus we are beginning to see Hank warming up to him. Whats great about Hatred is he takes more time to develop than other characters. Like Dr. Venture, he was haunted throughout most of the first two seasons by his father and having to live up to him, but it was solved during the Doctor is Sin, but what was great was that his conflict spanned so long, just as Hatred is.
I think Hatred is great, and like many characters just needs some time.

I totally agree with you. I think that makes him more realistic in a way. Developing at a slower rate. I mean, when something bad happens to most people, they don't just suddenly morph into a different personality. If anything, there's more psychology behind it. I may be delving too deep there, so I'll just my mouth.
Hatred is win.
